ICD Nvidia Tegra 2 Tablet Beats iPad Hands Down
Flash, ahoy!
With all this iPad talk, you'd think Apple was the first company to ever launch a tablet. However, despite all the hype, the iPad is causing problems for some people, and it's also lacking a little in the features department. No webcam, the same (or very similar) processor and graphics as the iPhone 3GS (albeit clocked to 1GHz).
Engadget is carrying details of a tablet from ICD called the Gemini. With a 3G connection that allows for voice calls, it already has one aspect of the iPad beat but what else has it got under the hood? A removable 40Wh battery, an SD card reader, FM radio, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, MicroUSB connectivity, GPS, stereo speakers, two webcams (2mp on the front and 5mp with autofocus on the back). Running Android, there's a choice of either a capacitive or resistive 1,366 x 768 multitouch display. The most interesting of all is that the device boasts Nvidia's Tegra 2 processor.

So I want one...

"Hot stoves have the potential to burn your hand!"
I'm tempted to buy one of this things in the near future
Running on Android is a strong step in the right direction, though...
You are right but give it a little more time, by Christmas this year there will be tons to choose from. I like the hardware on this and Android is the OS of choice for me too. Acer may come out with a nice aluminium one. I have a 13.3" Acer Timeline (aluminium) laptop running Ubuntu now and love it. About 6 Hrs (real-time) battery life too.
it does have blue teeth
you culd also use headphones with mic like those that come with the iphone
but yes, it would look rather silly with this on your ear
Why would anyone settle for an iPad is beyond me. Somebody needs to teach Apple how to build a mobile device.
